WOLF-30D0
Overview
XMC Development Carrier with Multi-Format Video I/O
The XMC-DEV-IO is a development carrier board designed to evaluate and integrate WOLF XMC VPU (Video Processing Unit) and XMC FGX (Frame Grabber eXtreme) modules on the bench. It provides a convenient way to bring module I/O out to accessible connectors while running the XMC card through a host PC.
The carrier exposes multi-format video connectivity, including SDI inputs and SDI outputs, multiple CVBS inputs, and analog inputs and outputs for legacy and mixed-signal workflows. For VPU-based configurations, the board also supports additional display connectivity such as DisplayPort and DVI, along with supporting power features intended to simplify lab bring-up.
The mounted XMC module is accessed through a standard PCIe slot using a PCIe x8 interface, enabling straightforward connection to development workstations for software bring-up, signal validation, and end-to-end pipeline testing.
Block Diagram
The block diagram illustrates an XMC development carrier with a PCIe edge interface, highlighting the primary PCIe x8 path between host and the mounted XMC module. It emphasizes how SDI/analog/DP-class I/O is broken out to external connectors to validate capture, conversion, and display signal paths during development.

Configuration Guide
This development carrier is typically ordered with configuration-dependent I/O breakout and connector population. Contact Sales for the latest ordering numbers and available options.
Some configuration options for this board include:
- Video I/O breakout population (SDI I/O, CVBS, and analog I/O as supported by the installed XMC module)
- VPU-oriented display breakout population (DisplayPort/DVI class connectivity where applicable)
- Lab bring-up conveniences (jumpers/switches and test access as required)

FAQ
WOLF-30D0 (XMC-DEV-IO) is a bench development carrier for evaluating WOLF XMC VPU and XMC FGX modules using a host PC.
Expect:
- Easy access to I/O connectors for signal validation and pipeline testing
- Straightforward PCIe-based host integration for driver/software bring-up
Do not expect:
- Deployed rugged packaging equivalent to VPX chassis integration
- A fixed “production I/O map” independent of the installed XMC module—carrier breakouts are meant for development flexibility.
Typical high-value tests:
- Driver bring-up and enumeration over PCIe x8
- SDI and analog signal integrity checks using lab sources/sinks
- End-to-end encode/display pipeline testing (module dependent)
- Connector/harness proof-of-concept for the intended I/O set
The goal is to reduce risk in software, signal chain assumptions, and interoperability before moving into a rugged enclosure or chassis.
It exposes:
- 2 SDI inputs and 2 SDI outputs
- 4 CVBS inputs
- 4 analog inputs and outputs
- For VPU-based configurations: DisplayPort output and DVI output
Note: the effective set depends on the installed XMC module and configuration.
Dev carriers are commonly ordered as configuration-driven tools (connector population and any lab bring-up options).
